SDE // melissa + angelo = DOPE
it was pretty obvious. we were meant to be. yes, ‘we’ — as in melissa and angelo and ARIA =)
they rock converses, ray bans, and sweater vests (or so we saw in their slideshow) — and they LOVE purple. SO DO WE! so weird!! we couldn’t ask for a more dope wedding and cooler couple [...]
SDE // jade + ronen
kash (KA²) and i were hanging out with jade and ronen a few days before their wedding, and ronen asked, ‘what do grooms usually do before they get ready,’ to which we replied, ‘we don’t want to film you doing what grooms usually do, we want to film you… being you.’
he said, ‘cool! we [...]
Starr + Eli // part one: SDE
Starr and Eli are a couple from L.A. (they look like movie stars!) In such a short time we were able to get to know them and really connect with them. I couldn’t wait to meet Starr. Kolby had told me that Starr was a BIG fan of the film I did. Sure enough, as [...]
SDE // shalene + leo
leo and shalene were born and raised on maui… and now live almost 3,000 miles away.. in VIVA! LAS VEGAS! when they started planning their wedding — they wanted something small… and intimate. the problem was — their families are HUGE ….and there’s no way they would have tied the knot without them. so [...]
SDE // porsche + micah + BLING!
porsche and micah love their doggies… love each other… and LOOOOOOOVE BLING! their first dog is named “bling bling,” the theme of their wedding was pink and BLING, and their new last name together is “ADAMAS,” latin for “diamond.” in P&M’s own words, they wanted “an original last name to symbolize [their] new beginning together [...]
SDE // sarah + grant
we asked sarah and grant, “what are you most looking forward to at the wedding?” they said, “OUR SAME-DAY EDIT!!” (kolby blushes), followed almost immediately with “ooh, and our DECOR!” We knew right then, we wanted their flowers to be a big part of the SDE. sarah and grant are ADORABLE — from the way [...]
HIGHLIGHTS // Jacque + Cameron
Elegant white dress… tearful maid-of-honor speech… a precious father/daughter, mother/son dance… it had all the signs of a traditional Hawaii wedding. But, Cameron and Jacque’s big day was anything but. Ask anyone — it was a PARTY — a full day of belly laughs, spunk, and personality. Oh, so totally Cam and Jacque =)
The flowers, [...]
HIGHLIGHTS // Kelly + Garrett
From the very beginning.. Garrett and Kelly were self-proclaimed ARIA fans. They subscribe to our blog, and watch every video.. and email saying “that was freaking awesome.” But really, it should be the other way around. We are Garrett and Kelly fans.
Garrett is a local boy from Kauai.. Kelly is a darling from L.A…brought together [...]
SDE // Elysa + Larry
I asked Larry and Elysa once, while storyboarding their Love Story Feature… “What do you guys do for fun?” ..to which they replied (only half-jokingly) “…um, …DRINK!”
I liked them already =)
But, then I really got to know them. Then, I realized why, on their soggy, but beautiful wedding day, there wasn’t a dry eye in [...]
HIGHLIGHTS // Sean + Jennifer
local boy from oahu… meets city girl from L.A. sean and jennifer are sweet, loveable, beautiful! oh yeah — and they are professional ballroom dancers! they met years ago — trying to find a suitable dance partner — and found the love of their lives. they compete, teach, and when they’re not dancing they’re rooting [...]
TTD// Nina + Chris
why would you lay on a rusted gate, have a shave ice fight, frolick through a dusty carnival, or jump in the ocean in your WEDDING DRESS? …we say, ‘WHY NOT?!” chris and nina are two of our most favorite people in the world… they are fun, down-to-earth, and down for WHATEVER. we love you [...]
SDE // Ros + Reggie
it’s funny. every now and then, we get to know our couple so well, it almost feels like we’ve been friends forever. we’ll start belly laughing… or tearing up (or just flat out bawl) and realize… YIKES! it’s hard to shoot with tears in the way. this wedding was definitely one of those. reggie and [...]
SKIT // Brook + Char
Brook and Char came to us wanting something DIFFERENT. They wanted something entertaining and FUN for their guests… something classy, something sassy, something that reflected BROOK AND CHAR. Enter:: THE SKIT. Enjoy =) -KA
SDE // Brook + Char
It’s a common practice for videographers to “cleanup” SDE’s before posting — us included. Most times, it’s minor: crop here, color correct there, clean up a few edits or swap a clip. We’re perfectionists, we’re never satisfied. We want to put our best foot forward before the world sees our work.
For Brook and Char — [...]
